From the recording A View Askewed Too
My take on a traditional tune. This is one that approaches the New Year with a glint in it's eye ;)
I did this over 10 years ago and th influence for this was probably the E Street Band NYE performance from the Nassau Coliseum show on NYE in 1980. It's a breathtaking live performance, indeed the whole show is. One o the best Bruce bootleg recordings ever! And I don't say that too lightly
Lyrics
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And the days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
And surely you will buy your cup
And surely I'll buy mine!
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun till night
The seas between us Lord and swell
Since the days of auld lang syne
For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
For the sake of auld lang syne?
For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
In the days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
